Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
My Teasers:
“His present relation to Anna and to her husband was, to his mind, clear and simple. It was clearly and precisely defined in the code of principles by which he was guided.”
~ p.349, “Anna Karenina” by Leo Tolstoy
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays post, or share your two ‘teasers’ in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks!

Thanks for hosting! Fabulous teaser!
My Teaser
You quoted my all time favourite book! My Teaser: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/10/teaser-tuesdays-as-the-sycamore-grows.html
I am in awe of anyone willing to tackle this particular classic.
My teaser: The Trouble With Magic
Nice teaser from a book I will never read.
Mine is from my favorite author http://t.co/kbV1kPj
I’ve never read this book! Nice teaser! Mine is at:
The Delusional Diaries
I have always been intimidated by this book, but I am curious. Jude Law reads it in one of my favorite movies, Music from Another Room, and I’m intrigued by it. Even if it is for that reason.

Here is my teaser from another favourite book – http://www.booksplease.org/2010/10/26/teaser-tuesdays-gone-to-earth/
I’ve never read Anna Karenina. Not sure if I ever will, (my brain is pretty lazy in it’s older age…LOL)
My teasers from Jealousy and A Cup of Normal are up. http://mardel-rabidreader.blogspot.com/2010/10/after-monday-inevitably-comes-tuesday.html
I read Anna Karenina a few years ago and loved it! Earlier this year I started War and Peace but got distracted by other books.
My teaser is here
You can find my teaser here.
Anna Karenina, the one that I just couldn’t finish… I tried reading it as a teenager and was just so bored by Levin and his fields that I had to give up. I’ll have another go at it. Soon. I promise…
Here‘s ours for the week.
Yeah, those parts are …trying. LOL. But, I’m getting through them.
A definate classic. Here’s my Teaser for Tuesday.
I have an abridge copy of this book but never attempt to read it. I’m sort of intimidated so I never tried. But I’m reading a classic too and just in time with the Halloween.
Here http://isaw08.wordpress.com/2010/10/26/teaser-tuesday-oct-26/
Great teaser!
Here is mine: http://lusbookblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/teaser-tuesday_26.html
Reading your teaser almost makes “Anna Karenina” seem a tiny bit less overwhelming to me. Maybe I’m ready to try it.
Peace,
Su-sieee! Mac

Here’s my teaser:
http://rainysnowday.wordpress.com/2010/10/25/teaser-tuesdays-oct-26/
Good pick of teasers, ‘Anna Karenina’ was on TV as a mini-series last month and I’ve been thinking I should read it but I don’t have a copy. Instead I dug out ‘War and Peace’ and that’s now sitting on my shelf staring at me…will get to it eventually.
Anyways, here’s my first Tuesday Teaser (drum roll please)…
http://scribble-scatter.blogspot.com/2010/10/teaser-tuesday.html
Enjoy!
Oh wow, a teaser from a classic. I’m in awe!

“Although Robin began to take over many of his father’s responsibilities at work, he never allowed business to interfere with his first love.”
“Thus began a hobby, which turned into a passion, and finally became an obsession.”
AND THEREBY HANGS A TALE by Jeffrey Archer, p. 144-145.
I have always meant to read AK but haven’t gotten around to it so far. I’m loving my book this week! http://carolinebookbinder.blogspot.com/2010/10/teaser-tuesdays-while-i-was-gone.html

Oh, I love Anna Karenina. I read it in high school and was just swept away by its romanticism and tragedy. There was a really good Masterpiece Theatre adaptation from around the same time (late 70′s), I think.
Anyway, here’s my teaser.
I’m reading a governtment espionage thriller today. Come take a peek at my teaser!
